So my little one had her 8 week vaccinations today (only the 6-in1 and the MenB, we declined the Rotavirus one) me and my partner have both been back and forth trying to decide if we wanted her to have them since she was born, to begin with we were both almost certain we didn't want her to have any, I think since she has been born we have both allowed other people (family members) to convince us to let her have them.

Me and partner have just sat down and had an open and honest conversation and both realised we are both really regretting our decision to let her have them. Obviously too late now as she has had them but I just feel so guilty and unable to even put into words how I'm feeling right now because I have let her have them. I'm an emotional wreck.

Just want some guidance I guess and maybe some reassurance that it's ok. We've both decided we don't want her to have anymore (she is due the same ones at 12 weeks and 16 weeks).

I'm not looking for a debate on pro vaccinations or anti vaccinations, I don't want to explain reasons etc etc, I just really don't want to feel like a terrible mum and a failure right now, has anyone else been in this situation?

you were not a terrible mom and i'm glad she had her first immunizations.
you should speak to a qualified medical practitioner because you are seriously misguided in NOT following through with further vaccinations.

You'd be terrible parents if you didn't let her have them unless a qualified health care professional had very good reason to advise against it due to known health conditions or risks.
If she was given them she would not fall into that tiny minority so you need to use you logic, trust the professionals, get a grip and stop feeling terrible for allowing your child to be safely vaccinated against diseases that could seriously
harm or kill her.

Please continue with the vaccinations, you would hate for her to get any of the diseases that the vaccines are preventing. You have started now, carry on and let her be fully vaccinated and protected.

Back to your problem of regretting giving them to her, you need to think why you are regretting it? As something somewhere inside made you think you should give them.
